WHEN THE GATES OPEN AT NOON THERE WILL BE SOME NEW SECURITY MEASURES IN PLACE. 12 NEWS SHELBY CROFT IS LIVE AT MAIER FESTIVAL PARK--- SHELBY--- RECENT EVENTS HAVE CHANGED WHAT YOU CAN BRING WITH YOU. THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGS CAUSED A LOT OF VENUES TO LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT SECURITY AND SUMMERFEST IS ONE OF THEM.. THEIR BIGGEST CHANGE IS SIMPLY A SMALL, WOODEN BOX. -NATS OF CORN PLACE SPEECH - THIS A TRADITION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID THE MAN SIMPLY KNOWN AS SPEECH ON THE SUMMERFEST GROUNDS IS LOOKING TOWARD A FRENZIED TWO WEEKS. SPEECH - A LOT OF HARD WORK, A LOT OF GREAT CORN, A LOT OF HARD WORK ROASTED CORN CONSUMES HIS MIND... ANYTHING ELSE IS PUSHED TO THE SIDE, INCLUDING SECURITY AT THE BIG GIG. SPEECH - HONESTLY, I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, I'M GLAD SOMEBODY'S THINKING ABOUT IT A LOT OF SOMEBODIES ARE THINKING ABOUT IT ... NUMBER ONE MAY BE THIS MAN, FORMER FBI AGENT, NOW SECURITY CONSULTANT, MIKE DEMARCO... IT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT CROSSED HIS MIND WHEN HE SAW THIS EXPLOSION AT THE BOSTON MARATHON. MIKE DEMARCO - WHAT ABOUT OUR VENUE HERE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS SWARM THE GROUNDS... TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE SAFE AND TO MAKE SURE NOTHING DANGEROUS SNEAKS THROUGH THE TURNSTILES... ONE MORE STEP IS BEING ADDED THIS YEAR... A WOODEN BOX TO MEASURE BAGS. MIKE - GOOD SIZED PURSES, SMALL BAGS, DIAPER BAGS, THAT TYPE OF STUFF MIKE - IF IT FITS INTO THIS BOX, YOU CAN CARRY IT IF NOT, THE BAG CAN BE CHECKED AND LEFT AT THE GATE... ANYTHING THAT DOES PASS THE TEST, WILL GET A ONCE OVER BY SECURITY BEFORE BEING ALLOWED ON THE GROUNDS... THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE FOR YEARS, ALONG WITH RANDOM WANDING. MIKE - KIND OF LIVE IN A DIFFERENT SOCIETY THESE DAYS, PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO ACCEPT CERTAIN CHANGES CHANGES SO HOPEFULLY EVERYONE CAN HAVE MUSIC ON THEIR MIND, NOT THE WORRY OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE SAFE. YOU CAN'T BEAT MUSIC, BEER AND FOOD SO IT SHOULD BE FUN AND THAT'S THE WAY WE WANT IT TO BE MIKE DEMARCO SAYS THE N-F-L AND NASCAR NOW MEASURE THE SIZE OF BAGS ALSO... HE SAYS IT JUST MAKES SENSE AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION... LIVE AT SUMMERFEST, SC, WISN 12 NEWS.
